Choosing the right mode
| Mode | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Extract pages into one PDF | Send only pages 1, 3 and 5 of a statement as one file |
| One PDF for each range | Separate a scanned bundle into several documents, such as 1-2, 3-5 and 6-8 |
| Every page as its own PDF | Upload pages separately to a portal that wants one page per box |
Tips
- Check page numbers in your PDF reader first; the first page of the file is always page 1, even if it is printed as page i or cover.
- Splitting does not reduce quality or change page sizes.
- To combine the pieces differently later, use merge PDF.
- If each piece must be under a size limit, compress them with compress PDF.
Questions
Is the PDF uploaded?
Your files never leave your device. The conversion runs inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server and there are no daily limits.
Do the pages lose quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly, with text still selectable.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Save an unlocked copy first.
